ASX’s shock $44bn bounce-back

The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 1.6% to recover about $40 billion after dip buying in technology and mining stocks boosted by company results and global market strength.

  • On Monday, the S&P/ASX 200 climbed 139.3 points, or 1.6%, to 8848.1 at 12.02pm AEDT, recouping roughly $40 billion wiped out on Friday.
  • Following Friday's Wall Street rally, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained 2% and 2.2%, while chipmakers including Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, bitcoin, and miners buoyed the rebound.
  • Notable stock moves showed gains from Newmont, WiseTech Global, NextDC, Pepper Money and Web Travel Group, with all 11 ASX sectors higher in the session.
  • Futures signalled about a 1.2% open, and analysts warned reporting season will keep Australian shares volatile as company results roll in.
  • But risks remain after a 2% ASX plunge on Friday, with concerns about AI capital spending by Big Tech and US‑Iran tensions keeping investors cautious.
